A total body toner, the Salamander is a great addition to your body weight training program.​To perform this exercise:1.) Start with your feet hip width apart or slightly wider.2.) Go into a deep (frog) squat.3.) Place your hands on the ground (keep your wrist in line with the center of your shoulders).4.) Walk out into a high plank position (like your about to do a push-up).5.) Bend your elbows. Keep your elbows close to your body. Keep your elbows in-line with your middle finger.6.)

Michele has been my Pilates trainer for over a year now. Since working with her weekly, I have now regained the body I longed for after having three children. I am lean, happy, and feel strong and healthy. Her expertise regarding the body's structures is incredible. With each session I find myself more and more impressed with how easily she can alter the program to accommodate my particular needs of the day, and the results are truly amazing. She can motivate you beyond your own expectations but still never seems too demanding. I actually enjoy working with her immensely. All the compliments I get now are not too bad either! Give it a try with her, you will not be disappointed. Tekla G.
